I haven't used HEM for quite a while now and I want to start a new DB to track all my winnings for MTTs and SNGs that i've ever played on stars and tilt.

If i request all my HHs and import them only, will they have enough information to give me the correct winnings, finish, tourney #s etc? or will I have to get the summaries as well?

If the summaries are required then whats the best way to import all that information into my DB as PokerStars only sends them in firefox document format. I remember somwhere in the FAQ to request summaries in .html but PokerStars doesn't do that.

Thanks

For 1 table SnGs the handhistories are enough but for other tourney types we need the summaries.

Stars is able to send them in html format. You just need to be lucky to find the right supporter.

The best is the summary format that you request in the stars client: Pokerstars > Requests > Tournament Histories...
and import the data from the mail: http://faq.holdemmanager.com/questions/117/Import+Emailed+Hand+Histories+

Then import them manually to HM.

For new tourneys:
Stars now supports the writing of summaries directly to your computer: http://faq.holdemmanager.com/questions/441/Poker+Stars+Tournament+Summary+Setup
